This one stings a bit. I've followed Bob off and on since 1985, when I saw his group, the Fringe (with George Garzone & John Lockwood) warm up for McCoy Tyner's trio (with Avery Sharpe and Louis Hayes) at the Berklee Performance Center. From there, I followed him at least every other Monday...

I misread your question, so I'm editing my response, Ditto for Todd Bishop (Cruise Ship Drummer) if you want to get a good perspective on/demystify this. Maybe the book title should be: "Mastering the Rudiments for Snare Drum in 28 Years"... To your question: I strongly believe that you...

Thanks for posting this. What a wonderful player. Rest in Peace.

Here's a short drum salute by Blair Brown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pf528RHFpk&app=desktop

This Saturday morning, August 13th, the Grade 1 Medley competition will go from 10:15 AM to 12:15PM (Eastern Time). Streaming live via the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/ewzzc8 (There are links to archived clips from the earlier day's MSR competitions). The World's page...

I once had to design a stand to support a piece of field testing equipment. The unit weighed about 30 lbs. and needed a lightweight, rugged stand so it could be used in remote locations. A rib at the bottom seemed to make the most sense for reinforcement and for the past 13 years it's been...

I'm not really into metal, but have a lot of respect for the skills of double bass drum players with powerful, articulate 16th note singles at say, 250 - 300+. But after awhile it has the potential to sound the same; a uniform texture that becomes a rhythm-less, jack hammer drone. Anyway, this...

I sympathize with you, but wouldn't get annoyed. If your audience were people on this site, the drums would be up front; half your show would be talking to us about hardware and the other half would be solos. But as it stands, your band is popular because whatever combination/formula you have...

Modern Pipe Band Snares are extremely high pitched, even more so than DCI. The Kevlar is cranked to the max on a reinforced hoop over a floating shell and there's a separate strainer under the top head to give it that unique timbre, especially for buzz rolls and dead sticking. But last night...

That was awesome. Just keep doing what you're doing.

100 Worst Magazines of All Time? I don't think RS has to worry. They've been crowned King since the early 80's.

So cool! Thanks for posting, Bo. And as far as the horns go- it's not my favorite, certainly. But I appreciate it more than I used to.

A quarter mile from my house. Almost every night there's some World Class performance. Dweezil Zappa, Eddie Gomez, Christian McBride, Lisa Fischer (who sang on 'Gimme Shelter and was out of this world great!), Judy Collins- Classical Chamber Greats. It was built on condition the community...

I'm sure they had many hands in their inception. Eric Julliard, the musical director of the Tattoo was a founding member of Top Secret. And some friends in the Middlesex County Volunteers (an 18th/19th century fife & drum group) played and wrote some of the music for them early on. But they...

You would love it, Bo! And as far as their bass drum line playing more, I bet you will see that in the future. The Blue Devils were at Basel this year and here they are playing together. (It's a little blurry): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDd8NgUQ0qk

From a couple of days ago at this years Basel Tattoo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWnIXCqnkPo&sns=fb

For some reason, this has been in the vaults for over ten years. Now it's been released for your listening pleasure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehm8-fa0jHI The story behind it...

Recently, I found some items that I thought were lost. One was damaged, the other three basically intact. I mentioned the first album some time back on this forum, when I first saw Elvin Jones at the Regatta bar in Harvard Square in the late 80's. When I got up to him he said, "I don't...

I'm really digging this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QntbKpvM_yk This video was featured on Tap Space and popped into my Facebook news feed: http://www.tapspace.com/ I've never heard of him before and always like "discovering" players, though I'm sure some of you know who he is.
